Principal Investigator(s):
McGowan, Patrick;
O'Leary, Michael

Summary:

This study contains data on national attributes and
international interactions for 114 nations in the 1960s. Containing
data originally collected by the International Relations Program at
Syracuse University, this learning package was developed to provide an
introduction to comparative foreign policy analyses and a discussion
of how to employ rigorous techniques to develop ideas about the
causes and consequences of foreign policy. Data are provided for
economic, political, domestic, and international interaction
indicators. Included for each nation is information on the gross
national product (GNP), level of trade, military expenditures,
type of political system, character of political regime, size of
diplomatic missions, population size, sociocultural classifications,
alliance bloc memberships, number of contiguous countries, voting
agreements with the United States, the Soviet Union, and India, the
degree of support for the United Nations, and the number of cooperative
or conflictual acts sent to and received from the United States, the
Soviet Union, the region, and outside the region.
